Breakdown Jalen McDaniels

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among PF's. Either he is injured or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 20th with 1061 total points (21.65 avg).
  • He is currently 1060 points behind the leader: Julius Randle
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 1.3 PPG.

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 44.97% from the field this month. Not very impressive for a big man.
  • Shooting 23.33% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.
  • Assists per game numbers are 1.73 apg this month.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are average for a center / power forward with 5.80 rpg this month.

    • Bonus Qualities

  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +5.89, APG: +1.24, RPG: +1.93, MPG: +12.74 STLS: +0.67 BLKS: +0.22
Breakdown Deandre Ayton

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among C's. Either he is injured or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 17th with 1243 total points (32.71 avg).
  • He is currently 954 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 6.1 PPG. If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 46.67% from the field this month.
  • Shooting 0.00% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.
  • Assists per game numbers are alright for a center but nothing to brag about at 1.79 apg.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are pretty good for a center / power forward with 7.57 rpg this month.

    • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 14 less games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +8.22, APG: +1.24, RPG: +3.75, MPG: +12.78 STLS: +0.03 BLKS: +0.21
